Tell us a secret about the other! Pepper: Orbax while not on stage has lovely long f lowing hair, and he has a giant penis! Orbax: Wow, that penis secret is so well kept that I didn’t even know it!
What has been your most memorable performances to date? Orbax: There have been so many, both good and bad, but at least they were memorable. Why don’t we narrow it down to British shows? Def initely the Black Sheep bar in Croydon and Madame JoJo’s in London were pretty great nights. Pepper: Croydon was one of those gigs we went into completely blind, people were all "uh
oh...Croydon, look out, be careful" and it ended up being super fun and full of the nicest people! Orbax: The kids there were awesome! Fun, loud and actually were able to follow the comedy even though I suspect several of them might have been drinking this thing you guys have over here called ‘alcohol’ – am I saying that right? Pepper: And now we try to end every England run there. It’s a hell of a send off! The Madame JoJo’s gig was par t of London Burlesque Week: so many people, loud and insane, and that night really introduced and welcomed us to the burlesque and cabaret community in England. We were very proud to be a par t of it.
How does the British burlesque scene compare with the Canadian scene? Pepper: Well, let’s just say that they are very different. The British scene is the real deal,
gorgeous women in gorgeous costumes and the best par t is they are nice people! In Canada every girl thinks she’s a burlesque dancer but believe me they aren't, not saying that there aren't talented women dancing in Canada but there is more bad burlesque than good. That said one of the best in the world is a Canadian girl! Demonica de Mor te, we love her!! Orbax: I think the hard par t about any enter tainment in Canada is that it gets spread out over such a huge country that you don’t really get a ‘scene’ to weed out the good from the bad. In all honesty I’m just amazed that the dancers here can put up with our constant bullshit backstage and don’t try to kill us.
Who would play you in the movie about your lives? Pepper: I think Hollywood would go with Pitt and Clooney for sure. Orbax: Agreed. But if we could choose I think it would decidedly be Jimmy Durante, Henny Youngman, Don Knotts and Jim J. Bullock playing various points in our lives – those guys are still working right?
There’s a lot of comedy in your shows, tell us a joke. Orbax: I heard this one the other day, and it’s somewhat topical. So I heard Stephen Hawking made it to 70 the other day. Fuck that’s one fast wheelchair.
